Meet the eaters.

So....

JaM Eathouse is really just two girls. One is a teacher full time and the other is an antiques restorer but on the weekends and during holidays plus every other waking moment we are growing, tending and cooking in our kitchen to learn and practice what we love doing.

I'm guessing for a time I'll be talking to myself but none the less. Here HQ we are making solid efforts to grow, harvest and prepare our own produce. It is our dream to one day run a small restaurant, growing, raising and serving our home grown niceness. SO we are going to spend the next few years practicing, albeit on ourselves, and learning to grow and cook our own food into more than salads. We grow with the seasons and even make some attempts to beat them. At the moment we have an established herb garden including basil, thyme, sage, bay leaf, kaffir lime, mint, coriander, thai basil, lemongrass, jalapeno and parsley plus potentially the largest rosemary bush in the land. On their way out are our tomatoes and beans as well as some lettuce. On their way (back) in are butter beans, cos lettuce, spring onions, eggplant, capsicum, leeks, squash, cucumbers, zucchini and some late blooming strawberries. We also have the resident flowers- violets mostly- as well as our oak tree- 3 years old and going strong. Newcomers include passionfruit, which we are giving time to settle in before we get too excited....

Did I mention this is all in our inner city courtyard that also holds an outdoor setting and a motorbike?
